I happened to accidentally stumble upon this social media app called [ThinkUp|http://thinkupapp.com/] a few months back.  You run it on your own server and it ties in to accounts on facebook, twitter, and google+.  Then, it sucks down your posts and starts doing a lot of analysis and trending with pretty graphs and such.

The best was to get a sense of how ~ThinkUp works is to go [play with my instance|http://www.hollenback.net/thinkup].

There are a lot of fun features like the ability to save your conversations and embed them in other pages on the internet.  Here's an example:
-----
<<RawHtml

>>

The fundamentally cool thing about ~ThinkUp is it allows you to keep control of your data.  All your tweets are stored in a mysql database for all eternity.  No more fumbling around trying to seach your old tweets: they're all right there.

I suppose most people probably don't care about these sorts of metrics too much but if you are a dedicated twitter user you should definitely install it and take control of your data.

Oh, and don't worry, this stuff is all open source.
